Is FanFiction.net down on Tuesday September 19, 2017? In the past we have seen error type 2 messages and the search function run into problems, although the message to try again in a few minutes doesn’t help when a fix takes many hours to appear. Leave the issues you have today below.

  • Sarah Dillion Strunk

    im typing in my correct email and password and IT WONT LOG ME IN!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH FANFICTION?????????????

  • Shannon Fauntleroy

    An edit that I made to a chapter a month ago still hasn’t been fixed to the public, I wrote a new chapter 5 days ago and it still hasn’t shown up, and my cover picture for my story still hasn’t shown up and I uploaded it 5 days ago as well.

  • File won’t upload. It’s a fully supported ODT file. Pretty upset.

  • The Anonymous Otaku

    Me and 2 others are having trouble with a specific topic on our forum, where when we try to access it, it comes up with Error Type 2. Emailed the support 3 times and nothing. This has been going on for a week…

  • Queenbee Cherry

    It is saying: error type 1 when I try to use the search engine : hope this gets fixed.

  • Malea Ogilvie

    It’s not letting me. The message says:

    “Error code: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY”

  • Experiencing problems with the search for story and writer. Tired of the oops. We cannot find this page perhaps it is an outdated link error 404 message.

  • CureBlack01

    I’m getting this error on a forum on 2 different pages…

  • Румен Ивайлов Стефанов

    Good news to all of you! The problem with me is fixed! Check out and see if it fixed with any of you!

  • Arturo Reyes Urquiza

    Yeah me too, I can`t post any new stories, it always appears a blank pages after click on “Continue”. I thought I was the only one. I hope this problem can be fix it as soon as possible

  • blusheu

    Thank goodness, I thought it was only me, I mean, with all my inactiveness recently.
    I hope to have this fixed soon! It would be disappointing for readers to not get their scheduled update because of this error.

  • Megan Zamora

    I’m glad I’m not the only one going through this.

    I keep on trying to publish or manage my stories, but it keeps on telling me that I’m probably a spammer and to try again later.

    And if I try to post a topic on forum about this issue, I also got an error type 2 message.
    I really hope this all will fix soon :(

  • CJ Jenny Carroll

    Been getting the Error Type 2 for about 2 days myself as I try to upload chapters.

    • Sabrina Ann Gilchrist

      yeah its been a whole mess. Wish I had known before I had taken 5 hours to do nothing but finish final edits for a OS. But oh well… hopefully it will be up soon!

  • Natalia Trujillo Rodríguez

    I see that I’m not the only in this case. I cannot update chapter in Doc Manage.

  • Ravenous Hardz

    Has anyone received a message like this?: “You might be a spammer. Please try again later.”

    Because I got one… Its annoying tbh.

    • Megan Zamora

      Yeah it happened to me to everytime I try to publish or manage a story. And I agree with you that it’s annoying.

  • Spada

    I had the same Type 2 error last night.
    Just when I was finally about to upload after a year. I tried twodifferent Word document files but I guess it didn’t work.

    Last time, I had another error (I don’t remember what it said) but I think it had to do with the file name?

    • Fox Gaming

      Same, started writing again after a year, and this happens after a problem with my wifi. Haven’t been able to upload for 3-4 days, like, come on!

  • Damn. I was hoping to post a new story, but got a Type 2 error when trying to upload a file to “manage docs” :/ hope this gets resolved soon!

  • William X Easley

    I get stuck with a Type 2 error when trying to upload a file in “Manage Docs.” It’s been two days now.

  • SHONEN_ EMILY

    I cant publish a chapter of my on going fanfic while people are waiting after i took a week break and this happens!

  • Румен Ивайлов Стефанов

    This error problem is affecting me as well! I’ve finished chapter 40 of my Kingdom Hearts x Soul Eater story. Yet, I cannot post it – At all! Hope this issue gets resolved soon…

  • M jauzi Al Ghifari

    i wanna share my first fic,but this problem block my path….would this problem get fixed soon…

  • Sabrina Ann Gilchrist

    I cannot post a new story- waiting in 30min intervals to try again and the page just goes blank. On hour 3 of trying to post!

    • Will Engel

      Glad to hear I’m not the only one having this problem. For real, what’s going on?

  • Chris Paans

    Yeah I can’t upload any documents on FanFiction or FictionPress. Annoying!

  • Dustin Vance

    how long does it usually take to fix these problems? i just finished the 27th chapter for my kingdom hearts/ sword art online crossover and i would like to post it.

  • Melynda Smith

    I was trying to upload another chapter to one of my stories and this annoying alert keeps popping up.

  • Fox Gaming

    Was about to upload the next chapter of my story, when I got the message. Annoying.

  • Julia Sapiens

    I wanted to upload a new chapter of my story. Though I’ve tried it on different times and by rebooting it still doesn’t work.

  • Collin Matthew

    I’ve been trying to post a forum reply, but whenever I press “submit” it just sends me to a blank screen instead of the normal one letting me return to the original page. In addition it does not even post the reply….

  • haineprincess100

    what the hell is going on here?

  • Tyler Bailey

    I was reading on a fanfic when it stopped working

  • Flash14

    I just begun publishing my first fan fic and was stumped when none of the chapters after the second one were added after two days I honestly think the system is down from the holiday weekends traffic.

  • Kim Fletcher

    Received an error message last week when uploading and reported it. Didn’t get an email noting the update like I usually do either. Same thing this Monday morning as well. Sent the message off to support again.

    • Patricia Malemes

      It’s been this way for about 2 weeks now. I’m wondering what’s going on this time and if it will ever get fixed this time. FanFiction doesn’t usually take this long to fix errors and bugs. I posted a final chapter to a story I’ve been working on for almost 3 years and it would be nice if readers could get a notification and actually read it. I feel like I’m in limbo…:)

      • Kim Fletcher

        Completely agree. I have had no response to either of my error message emails (not that I was expecting one) and there is no official notification about the issue as far as I can see.

        • Patricia Malemes

          It’s back up, by the way, as of this morning. I reposted and it is showing it now!

          • Kim Fletcher

            Thanks for the update!

          • Patricia Malemes

            You’re very welcome…

  • Marian Law

    Unable to post for 3 days now and have sent 2 requests for support!

  • Ana Padilla

    I updated my story on April 30 2017
    The new chapters were posted succesfully. But it wont change the new update date.
    It says i last made an update on november. I noticed this because i got a review saying “Even thought its been a long time please update soon”
    I was like… But i just updated the story lastnight.

    I do remember that when i added the new chapters i got an error message… Didnt think anything because despite that, the chapters were posted.

  • raisinette

    I can’t load any page from the website at all. It’s bothering me quite a bit, since I’d promised to publish something today :(

  • Delaney Sheridan

    I’m trying to upload a new chapter in doc manager and it is giving me a blank screen every time I hit submit. Why is that?

  • William Yamamoto

    I can’t access it since the middle of this year, everytime I try trough Safari the Server stops responding.

  • Jazmin

    Its november 2016 and I´ve only had to deal with this for the past 4 days and its already irritating me.

    My reviews wont show up but I can at least see them when I get an email notification.

    Not only that but to us writers its vital that our stories show up on the archive when we update so as to reach a new audience but its not doing that. My story just keeps getting pushed down further into the depths of the Fanfiction website

  • masterchief117

    I can’t view any more reviews or get the new review notifications. But still i can see the review numbers increasing whenever a new one is posted.

  • I was happy like any fanfiction writer when I notice that the number of reviews is increasing but when I click on the link to read them, I only find my old reviews. The number changes but I still can’t find them.

  • Charlie

    FanFiction won’t let me see any reviews posted to my story… the marker that tells me how many reviews I’m getting keeps going up and I’m getting email notifications, but it won’t let me see or reply to new reviews.

  • kuromimis

    I’ve been trying to access ff.net throughout the day, but the server isn’t responding and would not load. I also tried switching devices and browsers but the result is still the same.

  • Sleeping S.

    For me, it’s been four days. For others in Japan, it’s been more than a week – apparently, a lot of people in Japan are unable to access Fanfiction.net AT ALL.
    I seriously would like to know if the government – or something else altogether – is blocking our accesses. And I don’t get WHY they would block something as healthy and creative (and economically blessed).
    If fanfiction.net could do something about this from their sites, much appreciated…?

    • Chris

      Just want to say that this is true. It’s been like this for me for over 2-3 months now. One day FFN just stopped working, wouldn’t load and got constant timeouts but every checking website says it’s up and accessible.

      The amusing thing is, it IS accessible from my workplace, but not from my home or smartphone. IS this limited to Japan or are there others with the same problem. Having searched around it may be a problem with FFN’s DNS servers or something but I have no idea how to fix it.

  • Fanfiction doesn’t let me login to my account and it’s been going on like this for a week. It Directs me somewhere else and says to login and says I have to be logged in to login.

  • Carlee

    I read fanfics off this site on chrome on my cell phone. Can read the stories just fine but ever since sometime on May 12th 2016 I haven’t been able to see any new review posts for any stories. Mine or anyone else’s. Stories update fine and I can read those but I can’t see any new reviews that are posted sometime around May 12th 2016 and any day after May 12th 2016. A story I started reading on the day it was posted (posted on May 12th 2016) and by now it says it has 35 reviews (that’s including 2 of my own ) but when I tap on the review thing to read the reviews, it just says “no reviews.” It’s been saying that even on the day the story was posted. :( Any reviews that are posted by others and myself aren’t there ever since sometime on May 12th 2016. Help!

  • Ellie

    The website isn’t down, but none of my reviews are being posted to my story. does anyone know when this might be fixed? I’ve looked at another websites and saw other people are having this issue as well.

  • Lewis

    Site is down since approx. 6:45am GMT December 15th 2015. Funny how I had reloaded my entire browser around 6:35 and all fanfiction links restored to full status, yet minutes later, trying to change a chapter led to Connection Time Out error.

  • Fray

    Fan fiction Net has been down for around 24 hours for me, is it still down of others?

    • Sara

      Yes, it is still down. Oh the updates I’m missing ; (

    • Fareeha

      Yaaa its down.. sice yesday.. desparately waiting fr it to come back
      .. missing reading stories

  • Anon

    I can’t login, the site gives error message. “503 Service Unavailable
    No server is available to handle this request.”
    Doesn’t seem to be only my problem either, as the last fanfics published in any fandom and any forums posts made on any forum are timed 14 hours ago. It stands to reason that no-one had been able to log in after that.

    Also, I have trouble using filters when searching for fanfiction in any specific category; I get to pick some preferences (for example, character A and B; the rating; sort) , but not all, and eventually it freezes up my whole browser without letting me finish.

    • Dan

      I’ve also been seeing problems with FanFiction and getting errors.

  • Katrina

    fanfiction not working again, NYC. Got up real early too.

  • Tommy

    I resulted to searching google for fanfiction harry potter, twilight, percy jackson, and more to find the articles. In most cases you are taken to the categories with no results showing, so the servers are down again today.

  • Ben

    Once again, the FanFiction updates stop and all categories show no results with different errors. I guess FanFiction is down for the second day, Aug 12. Anyone else go issues pulling up stories?

  • Llama

    No new updates of stories since the 11th for very active fandoms. No bumping to the first page for updated stories. I don’t think the site is quite back to normal yet. I guess I’ll just take a break from it for a day. Maybe talk to people I guess… -_-

  • Will

    Fan fiction seems to be back up as of 8:17 pm eastern US seaboard. Don’t know if it’s the same for anyone else but I’m able to load up stories now.

  • Kirk

    I want to know how to bypass the error type 2?

  • Roberto

    FanFiction website is up but it’s filled with problems, the servers are obviously being worked on but it’s becoming a joke after trying for hours. I cannot view anything, but can access articles when going directly to a known link.

  • rica

    Is the website down cannot load anything

  • Ben

    I keep getting the fanfiction.net error type 2 glitch, also when performing a search it just states “search feature down”. When looking in categories I see another error that states, “No entries found with current filters. Note: M rated entries are not displayed by default. Please expand your filter”.
